Can't be any worse than the Americans, huh?

Besides, why can't someone who interacts with something (say America) have a valid opinion on what is wrong with that interaction?

Because a lot of Americans are sick of hearing what is wrong with America or what America needs to do from people that came from world's biggest cesspools.

What, like New Zealanders?

Absolutely not. I would love to travel to New Zealand.

Uh, I thought America was big on the free speech idea??

Not missing much mate. 40 million fucken sheep and that's about it.

It is (as long as it is not against President Obama).

But I have the free speech to call someone a tosser (I think you guys use that term like the Brits do) when their statements lack all credibility.

Make sure you set up your suspension correctly when you get here!

Yeah, but some of them are quite nice looking! I never get lonely in my job in the agrarian sector!

Never the ones with their heads stuck in the fence though!

To put in perspective, if you show up at a WSBK round on an old GS500 that is puking oil from every part it can then you don't comment that you don't think paint on Spies' upper quite matches the lower.

People can say what they want about America but come talk to me when people are drowning trying to get here by sailing over here on a post card.

The point actually is: if he was trying to sell me his upper & lower as a matched set, then yes I can comment. I don't have to be part of his team to do so; nor does his team have an exclusive hold on the knowledge of paint.

What's that got to do with anything? btw ppl do that trying to get in to my country, too.

As my pommie father-in-law is wont to say: "Ah, America, our most successful colony!"

No but in the immortal words of the philosopher Ice Cube, you better check yourself before you wreck yourself.

America is a popular target for people that need a distraction because they cannot deal with the reality that their own country is a cesspool.

You are full of shite.

We exchanged emails about some work. I tried to put some money in your pocket in return for the knowledge you shared with me and you gave me the high hat after I told you who I was including signing my email with my full name, address, and phone number.

I figured you did not want to business so I said whatever. Since then I have not asked you anything either publicly or privately. Then you posted some BS aimed at me in another thread and I just laughed it off and figured whatever. Now you post this. If you had something to say then you should have stepped up by replying to my email.

If anyone wants to know my pedigree then shoot me a PM with your email and I will respond.

NONE of your first 3 e-mails state where you are from ( I have just rechecked my inbox ) Like any prudent business person I like to know exactly who I am dealing with. Its a little like talking to someone wearing dark sunglasses when there is relative anonymity on a forum. What are they hiding?
We also dont make a habit of seeking business overseas, that may be an old fashioned concept. But as an Ohlins distributor we have an appointed territory that we operate in. There is parasitical and parrallell importation going on and we are therefore very mindful of not divulging too much unless we know EXACTLY who the person is and where he is from. More than once I have been free with information and that has not been reciprocated with business.
Thankyou now for the full answers I was seeking, it would have saved a lot of trouble had you been more forthcoming in the first instance. No shite, just reasonable prudence.

Well, we need America.
